Farlz Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 He probably was thinking "**** hell these are shit how have I only managed 1 assist" I don't think he particularly got going tonight either which didn't help things, Barkley didn't seem pleased going off before that. Nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I think he'll be secretly livid that his bezzie mate 'Madders' is scoring in good form and he's in a quiet spot. It'll be all over their WhatsApp group I bet. Plus, I think he hasn't been at his peak recently (like 8/10 instead of 9.5/10) and is annoyed at himself a little. Good decision to give him and Barkley a (small) rest. Especially with the yellow card suspension hanging over him and with him and a nibble at Shelvey.

One For The Road Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Does anyone really think that a man who is that devastated to miss 3 minutes of a game, will swap the captaincy and guaranteed game time for a move to a CL club where he will be rotated? On a side note, I'm both pleased and disappointed in his reaction. Its great that he wants to play but it's a team sport and he should respect the managers decision. Instead he publicly made it clear that in his mind, the decision to sub him was the wrong one. Not keen on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, I don't want players who are happy to be subbed. It was prob more to do with not scoring against the worst team we've played so far this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I was disappointed in his attitude when subbed. He has to see the bigger picture in that moment. He was lucky VAR didn't see him red-carded for the elbow on Shelvey. Smith was right to protect him from injury and another yellow when comfortably going to win the game. Also, it gave Jacob Ramsey some more game time. Come on Jack, be bigger than tonight please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was only 1 game away or something. Edit: I've just checked and he's nowhere near the record of Wayne Bridge with 112 matches.

kidlewis Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Does anyone know if the cards reset ON game 19 or after? i.e if Grealish doesn’t get booked vs Burnley then he’s all good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no big deal as far as I'm concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Gives everything for the shirt yet people want him to act like a emotionless robot when he gets subbed. For me, it just shows how much he cares. Last time I remember him finishing a game on the bench was that amazing 1-0 at St Andrews. Probably just forgot how the whole subbing thing works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope both don't get banned and miss the same match. Our left side will be under massive pressure against either Southampton or West Ham if that were to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I think that’s the first league game he hasn’t played full 90 minutes. Smith mentioned he had a tight hamstring in training. He needs to be protected at all costs. Edited January 24, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
